The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two recipe books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of that time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private collections. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chili Salsa Beef recipe.
